Husband of family found in car in Oregon dead

[PsychCat]

So very tragic, especially after the great news of finding the rest of the family just a couple of days ago.
Yeah, he may have not have been the smartest driver on the road at that time but he sure was a hero.
He has left a wonderful legacy for his children.
I suppose there is no "easier" time for things like this.

May he rest in peace and may his family find their own peace.

they took a route they didnt normally take and instead of turning around and getting back on the right road, they decided to take a chance. Man thats risky with all them logging roads and forest service roads and whatnot....Especially in snow!!

I read that they missed the exit they were supposed to take - so they looked at a map and saw that some other road would take them where they needed to be...

Sometimes people underestimate the weather

What a really sad day. CNet is one block from where I work in San Francisco. There were so many people outside in tears. It was just a heartbreaking scene. How many of us have taken road trips and have gotten lost on the way? I'm sure plenty of us. It could happen to anyone. I don't know what else this man could have done. He stayed with his family for days before made that difficult decision to find help. Save your family or watch them waste away? I think he is a hero for trying to save his family.

In case anyone would like to donate to the family, the family has set up a memorial fund.

It is a very sad situation. He is considered a hero in my eyes and so is his wife for doing what she could to keep herself and her children alive until help arrived.
